Headphones Made with Great Features
on September 27, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I got these headphones recently and I cannot set them down. I must look funny driving around with a huge headset but they have easily transitioned into my life! If I want to skip a song all I have to do is swipe the right ear pad, or swipe up to raise volume, or best of all place my hand on the right ear pad and it mutes the music altogether so I can listen to external noises like a friend talking through my favorite track. Taking calls is super easy and I was told I sound crystal clear so that made me feel great also.
The sound is pristine and lively as though i'm sitting in the grass at one of my favorite concert venues. Leon Bridges never sounded so cool! Another sound test for me was listening to a rainstorm with these guys because a lot of the time I need a break from listening to my dogs rough house. Again, the headphones take me to a headspace like no other headphones have. The ear pad is made of some kind of soft leather that just feels great on my skin, and I don't feel like I'm going to sweat off the headphones after a long time wearing them.
Overall a great purchase for someone who likes to listen to an audiobook and just kick back, or for the audiophile like myself who wants to really feel the music like never before. Give these a try and do yourself a favor, just sit back and enjoy. They sounds as great as they look and they come with a carrying case, the charging wire, and AUX cable to plug in to your device in case you don't want to use bluetooth.

Enthralling Headphones
on September 26, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Okay... I have to start with they aren't JUST headphones. Nope! I used to be that person that just worked with the earbuds or headphones that came with things I purchased and then I slowly joined the audiophile club. I've got some noise cancelling earbuds that are good but the soft leather earpads are so comfy like lamb leather and somehow feels like it enhances the sound.
So as for looks, they are spot on with the sleek minimalist that wants all the jazzed up headphones a company has to offer but doesn't want to look like a fool with gaudy nonsense. I actually wish I would have gotten the tan option. They look super luxe but hey, the black is slick and sexy (haha). I haven't said that about headphones ever.
The features are amazing, I never knew I needed "swipe and tap" features where there are no buttons to skip. All I have to do is swipe the right earpad forward or back to skip a song, up or down for volume and the best part is when you place your hand to the earpad it almost mutes your music so you can listen to someone when they speak to you! That was the wow factor that I needed in my next set of headphones.
The audio quality went through my test of Elvis and the Philharmonic Orchestra, Anna Kendrick's cover of True Colors, a sounds of nature Rain Storm, a live track where I could hear the strumming of guitars, and of course some Nicki Minaj to test my bass. The voice guide installed in the headphone is fancy and calm, I want her to read to me ;). Okay hopefully i've made my point that these little guys are going to packed on my next trip across the country in their included case and I hope to get my 20 hours of music listening in! Way to go Sony, I'm a fan and appreciate the whole thought out design of these beauties. A perfect purchase for a traveler, a student who needs to tune out the world and study or just someone who enjoys music like myself.

Zooming Speed downloads
on September 19, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
So aesthetically this duo is cute and not at all an eye sore. Compared to other routers i've had that have antennas that stick out this is a pretty set that almost looks like a art piece on my side table and by my tv in the living room.
Now regarding the features, it was as quick to set up as the box describes. I definitely agree it's plug and play after you go through the short set up process of your network. On day one I had to test the speed and it was 400 Mbps! I mean I just got my other router a couple of months ago and this one outshines it easily. This one says it covers 4000 square feet so that's cool. What's neat also for those of us who can't diagnose a problem is that if the router or it's satellite are having an issue they glow a certain color to tell you whether it is connected a solid white which goes away after it confirms connection or it glows red.
Perfect fit for a person in college who just wants no hassle or for a parent who wants to be able to plug it in and now worry about a whole bunch of sets.
My one down fall is that there isn't an iOS application to manage my connection from my phone but i'm sure that will come later. Definitely worth the buy.

Gear up and try this device!
on September 11, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I'll start with the fact that Rand almost hit it on the head with a complete package! Granted I do not have the added features of the back up camera or the tire pressure system but those are features I can later add this device is cool. Being a millennial i'm looking for an all-encompassing tablet/navigation system that would deter me from purchasing a car with navigation and smart systems (cars with included navigation systems often cost a lot to upgrade map systems and this won't). The magnetic piece on the arm that wakes up the system to the bluetooth and FM transmitter feature is awesome! I love this system because of its ease of use.
It was literally a click-and-go moment for me to turn on the system, sync my phone, play my music and get on the road to where I needed to go. It was super cool to receive a text and to have the option to have my texts read to me as they come in and to respond with voice dictation. The crash monitoring camera system was futuristic as well, her voice was neat to hear her guide me as to how cautious I needed to be with her "warning" as seen in my attached picture and the camera was pretty clear. I also liked that I could add live traffic only after connecting the device to my phone as a hotspot.
Now the downsides as to why I didn't give it a perfect 5 was the pad wasn't at all ready to withstand the weight that the system has and so I immediately stopped using it after the system fell to the floor board of my car. I wish the system had a live traffic adapter built in like other systems, the plastic pieces easily break when you clip the wires in on the arm. It feels very clunky and refinements need to be made but this system still does a great job. I drive a car without smart features so now that my car has the Overdryve it has turned my world upside down and it feels weird to sit back and just play tunes over my car stereo with crisp sound! I can't wait to listen to an audio book! The Overdryve is an awesome fit for anyone to a teenager learning to drive to a baby boomer who needs guidance and caution. The Overdryve will definitely come in handy living in a congested city like I do! Thumbs up Rand McNally just make refinements.

Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Sleek Charging Base
on August 31, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
So I have never really been a person who buys into accessories like bases, or extended cables and what not but this Belkin charging dock is pretty interesting. The watch lays secured and charges efficiently but for me the awesome feature was something I had never thought of. There is a turn dial behind the phone support panel so that if you have a thick phone case like I do you can make the charging pin stand up higher so that it can fit into your phones charging area without having to remove my phone case which can be difficult.
Aesthetically it's not an eye sore and as you can see it sits on my kitchen counter where I can charge my phone and watch (quick charge) while I cook and play music.

Aether and RDio service have been discontinued because the company could not keep up with the operational part of the business. So basically if you get this speaker you won't be able to use the full function of the speaker.

Good Value and Fits My Needs
on August 24, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I just got this vacuum last week and I have had the chance to do both floors in my home and the stairs which I usually dread because my other vacuum has fallen on me while using the attachments. The Pet Eraser's hose has enough length and it isn't so tightly kinked that it pulls the tank and make it fall.
The small attachment with the light on it sounded like a good idea but for me it was just a wow piece that didn't really fit my needs. Most vacuums come with the flat attachment that fits in tight corners and for me this was the equivalent with a LED light. I did find that I am not a fan of how the attachments connect to the hose. There isn't a click function to hold them in place so the suction powered brush falls out quite a bit unless you readjust it every now and then.
I currently have a really expensive vacuum, you know those that you almost have to finance? Well the Pet Eraser does collect quite a bit of dust and hair from my three dogs. I had just vacuumed using my other device and I was surprised that the Pet Eraser would catch anything. So it is awesome in that aspect.
My favorite part is the length of the power cord! It is long enough that I don't have to be bothered to vacuum my house in portions by having to disconnect and relocate the cord to a precise outlet. So kudos to you Bissell, I never thought i'd appreciate the length of my power cord.
So overall it's perfect for pets, easy to empty, I do love the Febreeze featured air filter. It's as though my machine plays mind tricks on me because after cleaning with the Pet Eraser I feel as though the whole house has been cleaned when the only thing I did was my floors! So my visitors will definitely appreciate that!

Really Nice Tablet
on June 12, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
I have been using my Iconia One for a little over a month now and it's super sleek and built with a rugged look and it's lighter than other tablets on the market. It does take some time to acclimate to functionality like switching between apps.
The camera is awesome, you'll see a picture I took of some decorations on my table and it has a great camera for being such an affordably priced tablet.
I do like the suite of office applications like a presentation app, document app for typing research papers and some others I haven't needed just yet.
This is definitely a good start for a college student who needs a tablet to take notes on or to just keep around the dorm. I haven't looked up accessories for my tablet yet but it has a neat back cover that makes it look rugged so I almost don't want to put it in a case because of that.
Overall an okay tablet I did find that it doesn't hold a charge very long so I have to plug it in often to make sure it's charged for when I need to use it. I watched a video of an Orca on it recently and I felt immersed in the video almost as though I was presently in the video so the picture quality is pristine!

Unbiasedly-buyist (see what I did there)!
on June 2, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from Austin, TX
Jokes aside, these Bose ear buds are great and effective. About three months ago I took the plunge and bought a pair of wireless ear buds on the advice of two people.
I had nothing to compare them to but then I got these ear buds and I'm sad I can't take back my first purchase because these live up to my expectations from Bose. I should state that I am a loyal Bose customer and have about 4 other sets of earphones and they are amazing. I have the Bose noise cancelling earphones and these ear buds compare very well!
The sound is crisp, there is dynamic in the actual sounds and instruments, and the bass is nice and low. I like to listen to different genres of music so I used a song with a Philharmonic orchestra with Elvis, a thunderstorm track, a live track and of course a track I would normally listen to at the gym. All of the tracks played nicely in my ears and I couldn't hear any outside static noise like with my other wireless buds. Taking a call was easy and so between my smart watch (primary device) and my phone I could multi-task easily.
They charged fast, the ear buds are comfy, pairing took 10 seconds and the head bud voice assistant reminded me to look for Bose Sound Sport in the list of devices to pair which was really helpful. The cord/wire that connects the ear buds is anti-slip rubber so when at my peak workout time where I sweat the most they didn’t move or risk falling to the floor like other ear buds. You can also download the Bose Connect app, which is very minimalist and lets you see battery level, devices paired (you can pair more than one unlike my other ear buds) and if you just want to see the batter level on the ear bud a LED light lights up green, yellow or red to let you know how charged your ear buds are.

Adult with a yearning for old school games
on May 24, 2016
Posted by: Txstatesal
from AUstin, TX
I bought my 3DS because I couldn't bring myself to buy a actual game console for my tv and I wanted to be able to play old school Super Mario games. I achieved that and learned that some of the newer games on the Nintendo platform are fun. I like games where you know there is a goal and you reach it by passing from level to level. I had a PlayStation growing up and I didn't use it much because it had too many goals and facets that distracted me and overwhelmed me.
It comes with built in wifi and you can download games directly to the device. I don't really use the Internet application or the stylus but I do see the benefit to it when needed. If you just want to be able to play games from your childhood and don't want to have to purchase games which could easily get lost I'd suggest this device.
